It was great to attend a track meet recently, in which two of our grandsons, Zachery (Kelly's) and Rhett (Rebecca & Randy) participated. They are on the Show Low team consisting of 6,7 & 8th graders. They competed against runners from Mogollon, Snowflake, Chinle, Heber and Winslow.

Here they are nearing the half-way mark in the 800 meter race, running side-by-side. Rhett (black socks) came in second behind a very fine Snowflake runner. Zachery came in 4th.

Later, Rhett would win first place in the mile and 3rd in the high jump. Zachery also ran in the mile and placed 7th. The challenge for all the runners in the mile was a mistake by one of the judges, who made them run an extra 5th lap. Pretty tiring when you are running the home stretch against a very stiff wind!

We are proud of these grandsons and our other grandchildren who compete in sports programs and other performance available to them through school, church and community.

Alexis, Rhett's older sister, is pole vaulting for the Show Low High School varsity track team, but we have not been in attendance to see her perform. We wish her well.
